"Extending" Helpers

Badoom ching! You're all play and no work at EllisLab aren't you Derek and Derek???

Hey, any chance you might be able to make the database stuff extendable? And hooks on the fly... Really would love that. ;-)

Also, I've been meaning to say for a while that someone should really take a second look at the XML-RPC code cause it's SLOW. All the classes appear to extend the base XML-RPC class which means it fills up memory really fast. In fact I did a test the other day - grabbing 50 records (structs) from a DB and it took 50MB, which ain't too cool when you're trying to build a mildly usable API.

1.6 is looking great btw - loving the hard work you boys are putting in!
